Obviously you could burn them to CD and re-rip them but that's a bit of a hassle. As for now, I can listen to Hardradio.com 24 hours a day for nothing, or any other of a thousand other stations.I also listen to internet radio most of the time as well.	maccrazy (6741)

I like the idea of buying online, But at a reasonble cost, Dont think I will touch it unless they get realistic with the pricing. $10 a month for 200 songs sounds pretty good to me, As long as the compression isn't out of whack and I can do what I like with them. As for now, I can listen to Hardradio.com 24 hours a day for nothing, or any other of a thousand other stations.Check out All of MP3 (http://www.allofmp3.com/) Metla. No DRM, pick your format, and bitrate rate, and prices I would pay. They charge by bandwidth not by song, and you can get almost any format including MP3 WMA AAC and OGG. They claim they are legally selling the music. -Qyiet	qyiet (6730)
